Once Drake and Gucci Mane’s track “Both” charted on Billboard’s Hot 100 at #41 this week, it marked the Toronto artist’s 132nd cut to hit the the charts. Now he’s tied with his Young Money boss Lil Wayne for the most songs from a solo act to hit the chart in its 58-year history, Billboard reports.
Drizzy is the lead artist for 62% of his hits that charted, and his new track “Both” with Gucci Mane is one of 50 singles where he is the featured artist. Lil Wayne has only been the lead on 36% of the songs that have charted in his name, though we all know at one point a Lil Wayne feature was hot commodity.
Drake and Wayne rank below the cast of the musical series Glee, which has an accumulation of more than 200 hits on the charts.
Earlier this month, Nicki Minaj’s “Black Barbies” knocked Taylor Swift down a notch for the most singles on the Hot 100 by a woman, though Billboard’s latest numbers have the two tied at 70 behind Queen Aretha Franklin, who has 73.

I guess Elvis went with quality over quantity. And it’s quite a feat that drake, whose only put out like 7 releases has more lead-artist singles than Lil Wayne who’s put out 12 albums and a whole lot more music.
Drizzy Da Goat! wishes yall a Merry Christmas n a prosperous New Year.
FUCK FAKE DRAKE! he’s not writing the songs. he’s a bitch made pop puppet reading and reciting songs other people wrote and he takes the credit for them. when other people are not writing his songs he will jack other people’s songs and beats, change a few words and try and pass them off as his own. real recognizes real, that’s why z-ro turned him down flat when fake drake wanted to do a song with him. he’s NOT a rapper, a MC, a Lyricist. he’s the fakest pop singer since milli vanilli [milli drizzavanilli].
nah nah nah, didn’t read, too lame
It’s a great fantasy that Drake doesn’t write ANY of his music….what a joke… there isn’t a music artist in the world who doesn’t use a collaborator from time to time. Who hasn’t? but I guess this is progress from when haters like yourself wouldn’t even admit he made good music. so all gd
